Help our Pollinators! Participate in the GA Census
Great Georgia Pollinator Census
August 19 and 20

Want to show your kids and yourself how scientists study the health of an ecosystem? The pollinator count is an excellent way to do that. It is quick, easy, and fun.

The Great Georgia Pollinator Census is a citizen science project created by the University of Georgia. This project is designed for everyone to participate and make a difference for pollinator conservation. Once you see the diversity and beauty of Nature's natural plant pollinators in action, you can learn more about creating sustainable gardens and spaces in our neighborhood, Clairmont Heights. Read more about the project here:


You can easily do this in your own yard, although nearby Mason Mill Park is central counting location for this year's census. Register for this location at the link below:

See Decatur as FAST as you can - Run the 4-Miler
Did you know that our area hosts one of the longest running 4-miler foot races in the country?

The Atlanta Track Club has offered the Decatur-DeKalb 4-Miler for over 40 years. This is a great way to burn off nervous energy as schools start up for 2022.

The event is FREE for members of the Track Club (membership also guarantees your entry into next year's Peachtree), although anyone can sign up by Friday night for $20.
Clairmont Road Upgrades and Improvements
Changes coming
The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has big improvements coming for Clairmont Road between Lavista and I-85.

Two separate projects will improve safety, improve traffic flow, and ease your entry onto or off of the freeway.

If you travel north on Clairmont for work, kids' activities, or just going to Costco in Brookhaven, you will want to see the plan.

Raised medians will limit left turns across traffic along much of this stretch, and the entrance to the Greek Orthodox Church will feature an impressive 4-lane roundabout.
Why would they DO this?
Drivers on side streets will use an "RCUT" to go left onto Clairmont Road at key intersections.
Drivers entering or exiting the interstate will have smoother on and off-ramps with larger capacity.
